Extremely nice.  I hate when beautiful Rio Grande models come out, it is so tempting...

At least I can dodge the first round... but after that, this might get expensive.

This Thrall car design started being built in the 60s actually, so I hope we'll see some earlier schemes. Other owners included ADN, BN, C&EI, CCR, C&S, CGW, C&NW, CR, CSS, DLRX, DTI, FEC, GN, GRR, ITC, L&N, LSBC, MILW, MKT, MP, RF&P, SOO, SP, and WC.  There's an article in RMJ that chronicles the design's development.  Pat, you're my new hero.
Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

Yes, this car is squarely in my modeling era. Much wallet pain to come.

Some of these are definitely still around in their old paint - for sure I've seen the UP and DRGW cars in regular freights and the WP cars in MOW service.

No CDN roads, but these are going to be of personal interest:
CR, DTI, MILW, SOO

I hope these sell really well for them, Trainworx is really cranking out top notch models.

That's what I was afraid someone would say :scared: :scared:
Can't model worth a darn, but can research like an SOB.

I'd be interested in the L&N, MP, and SP if they date from the 1960s up to 1971.


Hmm... Kiz has underwear
that dates back to then...


Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.
"It works! It works!"
